Abstract One important component in a vehicle is the braking system. The main function of system to provide deceleration stop speed. part brake lining. But know physical condition lining, it necessary dismantle wheel and components. So that one initial stages development make an application can predict remaining life lining without having do demolition. Therefore, this study will design calcula...

A series of model tests were performed to investigate the load-bearing mechanism a mined railway tunnel lining under water pressure. To characteristics different types linings, fully closed pressure exerting device for noncircular section was invented. large-scale test (1:30) combined and soil pressures conducted mechanical characteristics, deformation, stress distribution, crack development pr...

Many bird species use feathers as lining material, and its functionality has traditionally been linked to nest insulation. However, nest lining feathers may also influence nest detection by predators, differentially affect reproductive investment of mates in a post-mating sexual selection process, and affect the bacterial community of the nest environment. Most of these functions of nest lining...

The elderly are frequently classified as being particularly susceptible to air pollution. The basis of this increased sensitivity is not known but it is likely that it is linked to age-related impaired function of the lung. However, given this uncertainty and increased impact of air pollution of this section of the community there is a need to explore the mechanisms involved. Gaseous air pollut...
